HOW TO STOP FISHTAIL BREAKAGE - Dominique | Style Domination

[@LM-ur3lc]

There is literally nothing you can do to stop breakage and I am sick to death of it. Wear a low ponytail have breakage at the nape. Wear a high ponytail your edges break. Wear your hair down the ends split. Wear protective styles and the ends become dry and split. There’s nothing I love more than wearing my hair out but it never lasts more than a few months because without a doubt there is breakage, and I’m forced back into wearing fake hair for up to a year before it all grows back. I am so so so tired of this. If hair is all the same why don’t other hair types have to struggle with this as much? They can wear their hair down every single day and have no problems. I’m so tired 😭

[@vbrad6226]

You have literally just told my entire hair story. I'm trying not to give up on my hair but what's the point when you can't enjoy it.

[@JadaSnacks]

i felt this deeply

[@LM-ur3lc]

@@vbrad6226 exactly!! All this maintenance and careful handling of it for what? It’s gonna break of next week what’s the point. And I do everything “right.” Over it.

Whew child I felt this

[@superwomanme]

Sis you just told the story of every black woman out there. We are tired!!! Our hair is so expensive, labour intensive and meticulous to maintain. It's like our hair os overly sensitive to everything under the sun including the sun. So frustrating

[@manningviralmedia]

My hair loves Olaplex (0&3), she also loves good old fashion hair grease. Listen and pay attention your hair will tell you what to do.

[@ladydusk1]

Thank you. Some people refuse to admit that genetics plays a factor in hair growth. There are just some women whose hair would not grow past a certain point unless they baby their hair to an unrealistic degree. However all your tips can still be used to have healthy, beautiful hair at any length!

[@StyleDomination]

Agreed. And this goes for all races

[@ladydusk1]

@@StyleDomination Absolutely.

[@shaunadavvn]

My mom and I have this breakage at our crown that looks exactly like the picture when we straighten. No relaxer, but definitely the sore crown spot. Thank you for sharing.

[@alexiatherealtor]

Yes, and so many mislead that it’s not so. This goes for all races. I have heard many white women say their hair won’t grow past a certain point.

[@ohsosherry6930]

I and so many of us experience this from wrapping up our hair at night with a scarf and tying a knot at the center of the nape in the back. No wonder there is breakage and thinning right there. I quit doing that last year and gradually trimming my ends and finally my hair has grown back thick and full at the center nape 🙌🏽

[@StyleDomination]

SAME!!!! My hair got better when I ditched the scarf and started using a bonnet!

@@StyleDomination ok ok I'm listening going to do this

[@lonspram3922]

That’s why I’ve always preferred bonnets or a satin pillow case.

[@fashionaddict9294]

Thank you soo much for this comment! I put the knot in the front and I kept feeling like it’s looking thin and now I know it may be that. I use a scarf and bonnet

Mine was from the rubbing on back of chairs/ couches and the car. I started covering that part with a silk scarf and it helped drastically

[@sunshineliz5297]

I used to cover the back of car seats, strollers and high chairs when my daughter was little, I should start doing it again just for prevention.

[@footballgirl263]

this happened to me years ago. I didn’t notice until someone said “I like your haircut”. I hadn’t cut my hair 😳

[@StyleDomination]

Lol oh no!

[@deenacurls]

sorry that made me lol in real life 😂😂😂 chile I would have been the same way. what hair cut girl!?!

[@nanaamaakosah3337]

Hahaha sorry but that's hilarious 😂

[@KeaneLuvr]

LOL!!! I'm sorry! I understand. When I had relaxed hair, I used to joke that my hair gave itself haircuts. It really does take effort to make sure you take of your hair!

[@tino6229]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@hrhsophiathefirst4060]

All very good tips. Boosting my dietary intake with omegas and antioxidants as well as exercise every day has really been great for retaining length.

[@debbiedebeaux]

One of the best videos! We've all experienced this. I chopped my relaxed hair a year ago to a pixie and I'm determined to regrow my hair and avoid my previous mistakes. Loved this one!!

[@jasminekt5204]

i suffered from this type of breakage in high school bc of highlights and color at my crown ): but thankfully it’s grown back so much due to me constantly using castor oil, peppermint oil and vitamin e oil, weekly in my weaker spots! (currently trying rosemary oil too) hope this tip can help someone it’s totally not impossible to grow back the center of your hair, just have to be consistent and patient ❤️🙏🏽

[@StyleDomination]

Ahhhh! Thank you for these tips!!! Really appreciate it. And so sorry that happened! Colour can be such a killer

[@giftymorrison6783]

Thanks for this tip. Will try n give the feedback🙏😍

[@lonspram3922]

I’m natural and I’ve experienced this same pattern of breakage from wearing constant buns. I would tie my hair in a bun while it’s soaking wet and leave it like that for days. I can’t believe I used to do that. The breakage was real! Now I only use claw clips and my hair has never looked better.

[@kellymensah8181]

Omg after a year of doing that I have to cut my bra lengh hair 😢.

[@gabzz72]

I experienced this most when i tried self relaxing, after 14 week stretches. This time around, i'm leaving things to the professionals

[@tenia2743]

Thank you for talking about this!!!! It’s so hard to find information about it and it always happens to me!

[@tanyas1644]

You are so right! We must learn to listen to our hair and experiment with products to learn what works 😊

[@tam.b9651]

i fell victim to the classic blunder: wearing my hair in a low bun in the exact same place every day 😔 i didn't believe it would be damaging but the breakage is real

[@shawnayancy6923]

Same its broke sooo bad!

[@jashaehall154]

Same it’s pretty bad! I love my buns low & slick. 🥲 the crown short af now 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 We gone fix it tho 👏🏽

[@kijibeTo]

Really loved this video, thank you so much! I always wondered why my hair looked like that, I honestly thought it was breakage at my nape😝 but now this totally makes sense! I will look after my crown more😊

[@ashleynicole9423]

I had some experience with this but it wasn’t due to underlying health issues. It was due to breakage at the nape area. My nape was suffering from breakage due to being left out when wearing extensions and just not taking care of it. The fishtail experience was because the hair was uneven. At the nape it was short but longer everywhere else. After a good evening cut now I make sure to deep condition really well at the nape and keep my nape protected. Also a lot of women get this because their relaxer is not being rinsed well at the sink in that area and on top of that the deep conditioning not targeting this area well….among so many other things that put stress on the nape area. I always bend my head down when deep conditioning to ensure I feel the heat on my neck that way I know the whole nape area is really getting the same treatment.

[@sapphirehaircare]

You're absolutely right about using products w/protein in it I only use protein after a relaxer. I switched my buns too. Silk ties are really gentle on my hair. Thank you much God bless you 🙏🏽 💞 💞💞

[@meditationmoodsflow7279]

I just love the title. I have seen this breakage before. Never knew the name. Also you're such a beauty

[@StyleDomination]

Thank you! Yeah - glad I found out too!

[@anissathomas1083]

You have provided some useful information. thank you 😊

[@ggirl471]

Good information! I was considering relaxing my hair after 20plus yrs natural UNTIL I did something stupid 2 wks ago. I colored my hair and the color didn't take SO smart me did it again after 2 wks. That color didn't take either so now I'm looking at a weird hair color. I am seriously considering a buzz cut and starting over. It's just hair, it'll grow back... right? 😆😆😆

[@7mariposas740]

I have gone through this and have taken care of every hair root to tip and been wondering what went wrong. Mine was always the underside of my hair at the nape though.

[@normalouis8593]

This is exactly what happened to me. I thought it was so strange but it makes sense. Planning to be stricter with my regimen moving forward

[@richedeianne]

Thanks for this insight and the term is useful to hear. I’ve experienced this with a relaxer, flatironed and curled with duckbill pins or wrapped, and natural. It’s not just relaxers. Behavior in terms of ponytails or buns or pulling back in any way can be a problem. Am still working on cracking these codes and feel you are so right. It’s crucial, as I’ve also heard some say, to set that area off and nurture and moisturize it daily.

[@ruthanne6002]

Lovely hair Dominique, how i wish i had such length of healthy hair............ great content!

The best advice about the combing. I stopped using thin combs

[@m.b.1702]

Thank you for the excellent advice 🙏😇 I wish my hairdressers would've told me all of this in high school years ago...

[@AbsoluteMdot]

This is the worst breakage ever! I had it happened to me a few times. My stylist is a miracle worker and has done the most to stop it!

[@PDCodrington]

Hi Dom! If the rest the hair is healthy can the middle only be cut? And trim the rest of the hair? Or does it has to be even throughout?

[@samanthamurray7770]

Your voice is so soothing.

[@AmberU]

I am struggling with this now i think the protective style got me ! About to do a cut and baby it !

[@cloudydays6277]

Thanks so much for this video EXTREMELY valuable. Mine was caused by excessive scratching. I scratched so much it started to bleed that’s how mine happened. I’ve decided against oils on my scalp and also to only scratch with my palm gently not nails. We can do it ladies, how do we FIX it?

[@sbishop0586]

Thank you so much for this video. I knew these things in general but as you detailed each reason I was like yes, ok, yesss.

[@janeenprotain1084]

Hi, what deep conditioner do you recommend that doesn’t have a lot of protein in it.😊

[@tastethrainbow3]

What are your recommendations for protein-free deep conditioners? Thank you so much for your videos, you have been such a great resource to me in navigating my relaxed hair journey!

[@narrington7453]

Yes!! I would really love to know because almost all conditioners and leave-in products contain some form of protein or what I call “hidden protein” like coconut oil which my hair does not like. No one seems to have any real suggestions for protein-free products. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@DeeCee84]

Recently found the Mielle Organics Mongongo Oil Hydrating Conditoner and it changed the game for my hair!! And it's affordable. There are a great number of protein-free conditioners on the market now.

[@narrington7453]

@@DeeCee84 Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I was actually just researching this one yesterday. No protein and no coconut oil so I think it will be a winner for my hair too. I'm going to buy it today and use it for a couple of weeks straight to see if it works well for me. Do you know of any others?
